Synopsis

Tommy, his friends, and family travel to Paris, France, where his dad Stu has been summoned to fix the mechanical centerpiece of the EuroReptarLand theme park, a huge Reptar robot (from the Rugrats TV Movie, "Acorn Nuts and Diapie Butts"). Meanwhile, the park's director Coco LeBouche (voiced by Susan Sarandon), is looking for a potential husband (to help herself earn a promotion), and is dating Chuckie's father, with the help of Angelica and Coco's sidekick Jean Claude (voiced by John Lithgow). Eventually Coco and Chaz decide to get married, much to Chuckie's horror. On the wedding day, Coco heads off to Notre Dame to wed Chaz while Jean Claude watches the Rugrats and Angelica in a warehouse. The Rugrats use the Reptar robot to escape and pick up Angelica and another baby, Kimi, in the process. Jean Claude takes the controls of Robosnail, Reptar's arch enemy, and pursues the Rugrats across Paris, passing by several famous landmarks. Reptar defeats Robosnail by casting him over into the Siene River. Chuck bursts into Notre Dame and cries "NOOOO!!!" whic Chaz hears and he realises Chuckie has said his first word. Everyone learns of Coco's scheme and her boss, who Angelica calls "Mr. Yamisushi" fires Coco. Coco and Jean Claude flee from the church. Chaz and Kimi's mother, Kira, decide to get married and Chuckie finally gets a new mother.

A number of real-life landmarks make appearances, including the Arc de Triomphe, the Eiffel Tower, and Notre Dame de Paris (the Louvre is conspicuously absent, however).

Notable events

A parody of The Godfather bookends the events of the movie.
Coco LaBouche is an homage to Cruella De Vil. In fact, many scenes in this movie make fun of Disney (especially the placement of the theme park in Paris).
First appearance of Kira (as Coco's secretary) and her daughter Kimi, as well as Fifi (the new dog).

Considered the best of the three theatrical Rugrats movies by both critics and fans alike for its long term development of characters, and for resolving a long running plot thread in the series (Chuckie as motherless), whereas other movies either simply introduced a character (The Rugrats Movie
) or involved character crossover (Rugrats Go Wild!
).
